Two lessons made Tim Cook understand a truth.

It's okay, don't listen to the stories of the Chinese people.

Because these stories often contain deep meaning after listening.

Meaning hidden in the depths is often not a good thing.

And the more you think about it, the more unsettling it becomes.

Just like Wang Yufei's story just now, the more Tim Cook tasted it, the more he could feel that the taste was not right.

For example, when this friend goes to the train station, which thief will come to the door and beat which one is what does it mean?

Is it insinuating that he came to China in a hurry?

And even if three or five of these thieves come together, they will not be a problem, and they will all be put down.

Is it an allusion to the alliance they forged before?

It means that even if the alliance exerts pressure together, he is not afraid at all?

Directly punch and rub the entire alliance to the ground?

So this story is really unlistenable, and the more I think about it, the more anxious it becomes.

"What does Mr. Cook think of this story?"

Tim Cook nodded, although he was flustered, but he was very calm, and sighed: "Well, this story is very meaningful. Chinese culture really has a long history, and any story can be thought-provoking. ”

Wang Yufei nodded: "Then do you still adhere to the opinion just now? According to the original plan, you still want us to make concessions? Everyone is an adult, since they once wanted to take it all, they have to stand up if they fail." It's like a thief at a train station, since you want to get something for nothing, of course, you have to be prepared to be used as a punching bag. You're right. ”

Being humiliated again and again made Tim Cook feel like he was on pins and needles.

He really didn't want to stay in the conference room of Changxiang Technology for a minute, and he didn't want to hear a word of the stories of the Chinese people.

"Of the twelve lithography machines, the first six arrived in China in three months, and the remaining six were delivered in half a year. Two of the lithography machines can be regarded as Apple's apologies for some unpleasant things before, and the price and shipping cost of the other ten lithography machines are deducted from Apple's authorization to take brain computer chips, how about it?" Tim Cook directly prescribed the conditions.

Straightforward and crisp.

In fact, the reason is that Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin are too young.

These two little guys are so young that it is easy for people who are very deep in the city to be easily angry subconsciously.

Especially after mastering the skills of storytelling.

I can kill people.

Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin glanced at each other, and then Wang Yufei nodded: "Deal!"

The two lithography machines are still very comfortable.

Of course, the promise is so simple because Wang Yufei is confident that Apple's IOS will have no way out in the near future.

However, this has left Tim Cook with a lot of chagrin.

Aren't you too generous?

So just send out two lithography machines?

What the hell did he think?

Wang Yufei continued: "The price of the license is that Apple needs to pay $40 for the patent rights of Changxiang Technology for every Apple product with a brain-computer chip. ”

Tim Cook was furious: "No, Wang, this is not fair, the authorization that your company announced to other companies is not this price. ”

Wang Yufei nodded and replied, "That's right, I added about 30% more to your company's price, don't you understand why this 30% more?"

"I really don't understand. ”

"Mr. Cook is joking, how can you not understand? Because of the Apple tax, of course. ”

Tim Cook was silent for a long time.

Sounds fine.

In the ecological closed loop of the IOS system, Apple occupies a monopoly position and can levy a 30% Apple tax, so now that Changxiang Technology occupies a monopoly position, it also charges 30% of the IQ tax in reverse, which is indeed not too much of a problem.

"I'm sorry, Apple can't accept this condition. Tim Cook slowly shook his head, looked directly at Wang Yufei and said.

"There is another solution, or Apple will stop collecting the 30 percent apple tax in China, and the patent right I will give you will be treated the same as other manufacturers. Choose one or the other, you can consider it. If you don't choose either, forget it. ”

Wang Yufei said sincerely.

Tim Cook was tempted to say, "Forget it!"

Then he walked away.

Then I thought of the alliance that had been formed, and thought that according to the news he had gotten, Samsung had come to communicate with Changxiang Technology several times.

Not only did he get the authorization, but he also won the qualification to OEM 7nm brain-computer chips for Changxiang Technology, and he couldn't help but calm down instantly, and the butt that wanted to leave the stool stuck to the stool again.

"Wang, I always thought we could be very good friends. And the last time Apple invited you to Apple as a technology executive, it was also very sincere. ”

"Mr. Cook, you are really joking, do you think this is for the good of our family Yufei? If he really agreed to be an Apple technology executive at that time, can you give him an annual salary of 10 billion US dollars a year?" Lu Yuxin said with a smile.

Full marks for logic, Tim Cook is speechless.

After all, this is a man who has developed a brain-computer chip, and he can really make tens of billions of dollars a year just by selling patent licenses. After all, the ceiling of the smartphone market has a tendency to be broken.

And the annual salary of Apple's technical executives, forget it, don't talk about it.

And Tim Cook has realized another truth, the reason why he is deflated every time he negotiates with the two......

Probably because one tongue is hard to beat two.

What he meant was obviously to express the importance he attached to Wang Yufei, but when Lu Yuxin said this, it became a delay for Wang Yufei and a advantage for Wang Yufei.

Who to reason with?

Does he have to be so straightforward when he is in this capacity?

Confess loudly to Wang Yufei, why am I optimistic about you?

I can't say it!

"Well, anyway, this time I came to Huaxia in person, I think it will make the two of you feel sincere. Forty dollars is a price that Apple simply can't accept. ”

Tim Cook said in a deep and serious voice.

Lu Yuxin took the place of Wang Yufei and said: "Okay, for your sake, 38 US dollars! If you still think it's not suitable, you really don't need to talk about it! Yufei, what do you think?"

Wang Yufei nodded and replied, "Well, I also think 38 is a good number." And Mr. Cook may not know that 8 is a number that Chinese merchants like very much, and it is difficult to explain to you why in English. It's probably a homonym that can make money. Our sincerity has been sufficient, it's up to you. Of course, you can still choose to remove the Apple tax in Huaxia, which will cost you more than $20 to get the authorization. And we only want to cancel the apple tax in Huaxia! ”

Tim Cook was silent again.

Only cancel the apple tax in Huaxia?

Oh, Apple dares to do this, I'm afraid that it will be a lawsuit soon.

The Apple tax must not be abolished.

Otherwise, what about the revenue?

Think of it this way at $38......

It's not unacceptable.
